w00t - first ever post in the marathon section!!
Running Amsterdam marathon tomorrow. Starts at 9:30 CET - bib number 792. Gonna aim for sub-3 but had a horrendous lead up to marathon training wise.
Look forward to sampling some of Amsterdam tomorrow night however!

Is it a hilly or a nice flat course ?

I am assuming its gonna be flat - never ran it before, but as pretty much all of Holland is flat - I'll be pissed if they have managed to find some hills

I 'thought' I had already replied to this but was on a different phone - and thus was just a guest!
The non-existent training of the last 5 weeks came back to bite me on the bum! I just didn't have it in the legs for a sub-3 time, although I tried.
On the pulse side - I did tough out a torturous final 7 miles to hold on for a London 'Good for Age' time - 3:08:53!

Nice work and not too shabby time at all! Will this get you into VLM next year or the year after? Assuming that is what you'll use it for.
